Tile Flattener Device Structure

ABSTRACT

A tile flattener device structure, which has a bottom edge support contacting the surface and positioned between the bottom of a front plate and a rear plate of a base plate, and the tiles desired to be levelled are individually positioned at the left and right elastic adjustment areas of the front and rear recesses of the front plate and the rear plate, and the levelling adjustment of tiles is performed by means of an inclined adjustment body passing through the perforation via the clamping piece, and since the front and rear recesses of the front plate and the rear plate dividing the left and right elastic adjustment areas have elasticity, they can perform levelling of various tiles, effectively reduce the working time and increase construction speed, and also reduce the usage of the tile flattener device, so that ensures the results of ease of use and reducing usage costs.

The current application claims a foreign priority to application number103222912 filed on Dec. 25, 2014 in Taiwan.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a tile flattener device structure, andparticularly relates to the field of an equipment used for installingtiles by rapidly adjusting caulking distance, tile level, and planedistance.

DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART

The prior art tile flattener device shown in FIG. 9 consists of asupporting seat 20 and a pressure support block 30. The supporting seat20 comprises a concave arc-shaped lower base 21 and an upwards-extendingshank 22. Two guide holes 210 are positioned at a suitable placecorresponding to the lower base 21, and a perforation 220 passes throughthe shank 22. By means of the pressure support block 30 passing throughthe perforation 220 of the shank 22, and applying a downward force onthe tile, it enables the concave arc-shaped part of the supporting seat20 to adjust the height of the adjacent tile. However, it has thefollowing problems:

1. Not easy to use: Its supporting seat can only perform levelling inbetween two tiles, such that a tile flattener device is required to bepositioned in between each two tiles, which makes the working procedurescomplicated and extends construction time, and therefore it is not easyto use.

2. High usage costs: Its supporting seat can only perform levelling inbetween two tiles, such that a tile flattener device is required to bepositioned in between each two tiles, which increases the amount of useof the tile flattener device during levelling of tiles, and thereforehas high usage costs.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the problems of ease of use and highcost of the already known tile flattener devices, and thus provides thetile flattener device structure of the present invention.

The main purpose of the present invention is to provide a tile flattenerdevice structure, which has a T-shaped base comprising a base plate anda clamping piece; and the base plate comprising a front plate and a rearplate; and an interlinking bottom edge support is placed at the bottomof the front plate and the rear plate; the front plate and the rearplate run along the bottom edge support, and individually have a lowerfront inclined plane and a lower rear inclined plane which have outwardsinclined appearance; the lower front inclined plane and lower rearinclined plane have an angle of between 1° to 20° with regards to thesurface horizontal plane; the front plate and the rear plateindividually have a front recess and a rear recess which haveindentation towards inside at their middle portion, and the front recessand the rear recess have a triangular or trapezoidal appearance, and thefront recess and the rear recess individually divide the front plate andthe rear plate into right and left elastic adjustment areas; the platebodies of the front plate and rear plate have a clamping piece which isthin at the outer part and gets thicker towards the inner part; thefront plate and the rear plate top surfaces individually have pluralityof front convex ribs and rear convex ribs from outside towards inside;and a perforation passes through the clamping piece; the bottom edgesupport positioned between the bottom of the front plate and rear plateof the base plate contacts the surface, and the tiles desired to belevelled are individually positioned at the left and right elasticadjustment areas of the front and rear recesses of the front plate andthe rear plate, and the levelling adjustment of tiles is performed bymeans of an inclined adjustment body passing through the perforation viathe clamping piece, and since the front and rear recesses of the frontplate and the rear plate dividing the left and right elastic adjustmentareas have elasticity, they can perform levelling of various tiles,effectively reduce the working time and increase construction speed, andalso reduce the usage of the tile flattener device, so that ensures theresults of ease of use and reducing usage costs.
